Whether you have several hundred or several hundred thousand endpoints, managing security on them is a challenge. Each Windows system is a unique installation of the largest and most complex operating system in the world and the most targeted. Besides hundreds of security settings, there's the ever present burden of patching security vulnerabilities not just in Microsoft products but all the other vendors as well.
You really need some power tools to meet this challenge. Most organizations have SCCM but most of the time it’s also underutilized. Especially as a security management tool. SCCM is so powerful and there's a vibrant user community that produces awesome SCCM based solutions you can use.
I hope to change that in this real training for free ™ webinar with help from fellow Microsoft MVP Duncan McAlynn. Duncan is a 6x Microsoft MVP & Senior Solution Specialist for HEAT Software. Duncan knows SCCM deeply and he's passionate about using SCCM for security. He will show how quickly and easily you can become the IT hero by helping your organization protect and defend itself against vulnerability exploits, ransomware and malware by using SCCM as a security management solution through a combination of:
- Microsoft provided add-ons for easily creating security compliance baselines for Windows 10 deployments
- Community developed solutions for Software Update Group management
- Freely available SSRS reports and dashboards for security compliance monitoring and audits
- WSUS update maintenance tips and tricks
- 3rd party Patch Management solutions for native SCCM integration
Duncan will also briefly show how HEAT Software’s PatchLink Desktop can plug into SCCM environments – providing day one patching capabilities for 100s of applications.
